Google Launches Earth AI Models for Disaster Response

Google has created new AI models called Earth AI to help with disasters and other issues.

These models use satellite images and AI to understand things like floods, wildfires, and where people live.

The models can instantly find objects and discover patterns from satellite imagery, answering complex questions.

This helps organizations respond faster and better, for example, by helping GiveDirectly find people who need aid during floods.

The AI is also improving Google Earth, and Google has already used it to help people during wildfires in California.

While the AI is expanding globally, a competitor is making progress in India.
